Russ Crupnick and The NPD Group will be hosting another webinar in December that will be officially announced during “Using Retail Sales Data Effectively.”

More sophisticated practices that marketers and retailers are now employing will also be discussed during the webinar. These practices, which are experiencing growth as a result of changes in technology and shopping habits, include category management, advanced analytics and other cutting-edge tools that improve decision making in terms of assortment, pricing and other areas of merchandising.

Questions from members and industry stakeholders may be submitted in advance; to the extent possible, answers to these questions will be discussed during the presentation.
